Tail Kit has landed!

While I was walking around drooling over vendors at Sun 'n Fun, my 10 tail kit arrived! I bought it from a gentleman on barnstormers who was excellent to deal with and got a great deal. He really took time and care in crating it for the trip east to NC.

I also have a tool kit on the way and our tail # reserved! My wife and I just have to finish remodeling the formal living room then the attention turns towards pimping out the garage, ahem, I mean hanger factory!

Been researching this for a long time and have learned a lot on here and by talking with great new friends.

I have it all built out on paper after getting my hands on things in Tampa last week. It's all in pencil though, as I know things are changing quickly with options!

Our goal is first flight in 2017 so I'm anxious to get started around June!

Congrats on getting the process started, just remember, it is a lot of small bites that finally get the job done.

Tom congratulations! You will love the process.

That little side job in the garage will help to pay for wasted parts. :D What kind of coat hangers you plan to manufacture? If aluminum I would order a case :D
